Chapter Six

To the Moors

Sam and Kosin spent the night in the realm of the Piskies before starting forth on their journey. It turned out that the network of caves and tunnels leading off the main cavern led to many different enchanted woodlands where the Piskies lived.

Sam was provided with a woodland bed for the night, not being able to fit himself into one of the Piskie tree houses. It consisted of a canvas roof, a bed of moss and leaves and blanket made from carefully woven together petals in every colour you could imagine. Sam had been camping before but never like this.

The sky was a deep midnight blue and was covered in a blanket of real stars this time. Despite it being a cloudless night, the air was still and mild.

Sam slept heavily and the following morning was woken by Kosin and some breakfast. Sam looked at it is sleepily and with a yawn said “Kosin, where did you get this from, this bowl looks familiar.”

“Your house of course” replied Kosin. “I wanted you to have a good breakfast before we left”.

Sam was confused. “How did you get into my house from here?”

“Easy,” replied Kosin with a smile, “all these tree doors lead back to your realm. Mine here leads directly to your new house, that’s how I got the job of leading you here.”

“Where in my house does it come out?” said Sam in surprise.

“By the fireplace. It was how we used to travel and help people when we were needed” replied Kosin, who was now busying himself packing a tiny backpack.

Sam sat in silence for a moment and considered what Kosin had said, then rapidly ate his cereal.

“Where are we heading first then?” mumbled Sam through a mouth full of chocolate rice pops.

“We head east towards the moors. It’s many miles away from here, so we shall have to ride there.” Replied Kosin.

“Ride? Replied Sam quizzically.

“Yes ride, ride a horse, I have arranged to borrow some for our journey from a place not too far from here.”

“I’ve never ridden a horse before,” said Sam

“Oh, it’s easy, a bit like riding a bike, just less peddling” laughed Kosin.

Sam wasn’t entirely sure if Kosin was joking, and he was very sure that riding a horse was not going to be like riding a bike, but he was at least willing to give it a go.

“You did let my grandmother and mum know I was safe, didn’t you?”

“Of course,” said Kosin, a little too quickly.

And with that, they set off. The first part of their journey, on foot, was easy. The path wound its way through the forest and as they came nearer to its edge, light began to filter down through the treetops to the forest floor. Everywhere the rays of light touched the floor, deep purple flowers sprung up. They had deep glossy green leaves and each flower was like a small bell, bowing its head to the floor. Just looking at them, Sam thought he could even hear them ringing.
